The original poster mentioned a TechRepublic article by Mark W. Kaelin: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-download-a-windows-10-iso-file-without-using-the-media-creation-tool/

Apparently, he prefers messing with the local copy of a webpage in the development tools to download a file in stead of just running a program that downloads it (he says “messing with” the program in stead of “running”).
I totally fail to see why.

My apology to the OP

My prior comment was deleted due to my confusion about the thread subject. The thread has been unlocked by a fellow moderator already.

Here I haven’t use those ISOs in years.

But I have had clients that want to try. Often they are back at the counter complaining about how it doesn’t seem right with Enterprise issues about “not allowed” to do this or that.
After the client stews for a while we’ll use the install media made with the media tool and get it done.
